Burd was wide open for a fastbreak dunk, dribbled it off the side of her foot for a spectacular turnover, hit a guy on Gucci row, spilled his Zima onto the court, major delay while the drink is cleaned up giving the TV crew plenty of time to dissect the turnover, and point/laugh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a stupid format. Bums were getting in because they had to scrape together players that were born outside of the US while worthy players missed the game due to being American. Even worse when some of those international guys have been in the states since elementary school *cough cough* Josh Okogie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the talking heads that have revealed their votes are putting FVV as a starter, James Harden, because they are clearly better than Trae this season. Oh Ja is an MVP candidate now. It's really crazy how much more Trae has to do to get some recognition. I know our record is poor right now, but when we went on our run last year with Trae putting up essentially the same numbers as Ja, no one was saying he was an MVP candidate or All NBA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timing is everything. Trae or his teams have always started the season slow since he has been in the league. We have spent the majority of the season playing underwhelmingly. He is the best player on this team. Our team performance is every bit a part of his brand as his sneaker deal or watch commercials. If Trae consistently is associated with losing teams, that ultimately hurts his brand. He went in to this season with all the momentum in the world. The narrative about him had changed, he was one of the most popular players during the playoffs. Our team was set up to win big this year. What did we do? We fell flat on our face for the 4th year in a row, and dug ourselves in to another hole. Blame whoever you want, but Trae is the best player on this team, and he will always get the most criticism. We were 8 games under .500 when most of these guys were figuring out who they wanted to vote for. We are still 3 games under .500 and in the 12th spot. We haven't given anyone outside of Atlanta ANY reason to believe in our team, let alone it's best player. It is what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harden is a big time shill just like the media and the talking heads. It makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 1 vote. Explain that mess. Like I fully admit he shouldn't be getting MVP recognition this year. However, the weird media bias to block him out of awards is strange to me, but certain other young players don't have to prove as much and they are given more the benefit of the doubt having done half as much.

marco102 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Fan vote came through! Chuck trying to disrespect Trae. If anything, Zach should have been the second guard, but Derozan wouldn't have made the front court. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
